In order to transfer my pattern to the textile, I sent a module in to Spoonflower to have them put it on fabric for me. The first one I got back, was not what I was expecting. The picture with the larger pattern design is the first one that I received. I was not happy with such a large print because blown up, the lines were blurry and the color was blotchy. I ended up working it out with them and got what I really wanted the second time around. The picture with the smaller print is what I wanted.
I am very happy with how the last one turned out. From a certain distance away, the yellow that I once feared did not belong in the textile, actually gives the pattern more visual texture. The way the gold tones pop out over the yellow give it an extra dimension which I really like.
One of the biggest things I had to overcome when working on this textile, was accepting that this color scheme may not be my absolute favorite or something that I would choose for my own home, but instead I had to look at it from a design standpoint. The color scheme has very rich colors that do work nicely together. When I showed people those colors in comparison to some that I liked more, almost everybody agreed that yellows and golds were the best choice. Now that I have seen the textile in front of me, I really do appreciate listening to their feedback and I am happy with what I ended up with.
